Our Services

At Focused Care Psychology, we provide expert, evidence-based assessments for ADHD and Autism across Ireland and the UK. Our services are designed to deliver clear, accurate diagnoses and comprehensive support to neurodiverse individuals and their families.

ADHD Assessments

ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects a person’s ability to focus, control attention, and regulate impulses. It can also involve challenges with hyperactivity or excessive movement.

Some individuals with ADHD may also experience higher levels of activity or act impulsively, though this is not true for everyone.

Autism Assessments

Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how individuals perceive and interact with the world. It is characterized by a wide range of traits, which can vary significantly from person to person.

These traits may include differences in social communication, repetitive behaviours, and focused interests. People with autism may experience challenges in social situations, sensory sensitivities, or difficulties with change, but they may also have unique strengths, such as attention to detail, creativity, and a strong ability to focus on specific tasks.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT is a widely used therapeutic approach that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours. It focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, aiming to replace unhelpful thinking with more realistic and constructive perspectives.

CBT is effective for a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and stress, and is often used to help individuals develop coping skills and improve emotional regulation. It is typically structured, goal-oriented, and can be short-term or long-term, depending on the individual's needs.

Compassion Focused Therapy

CFT is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals develop self-compassion and address issues related to shame, self-criticism, and emotional distress. It combines elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) with techniques from evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, and mindfulness.

CFT encourages people to treat themselves with the same kindness and understanding they would offer a loved one, helping to build emotional resilience, improve self-esteem, and reduce anxiety and depression. It is particularly effective for individuals struggling with self-criticism, trauma, or difficulties in forming compassionate relationships with themselves.

Family Therapy

Family therapy is a type of counselling that involves treating the family as a whole unit to address issues affecting the relationships and dynamics within the family. It aims to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen emotional bonds among family members.

Family therapy is often used to help families cope with challenges such as parenting issues, mental health problems, addiction, trauma, or life transitions. The therapist works with the family to identify patterns of behaviour, explore underlying emotions, and develop healthier ways of interacting and supporting one another. It can benefit individuals by fostering a more positive and supportive family environment.

Couples and Relationship Therapy

Couple therapy is a form of counselling aimed at improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening the relationship between partners. It helps couples address issues like trust, intimacy, and emotional disconnect.

Through guided conversations, couples can gain a deeper understanding of each other’s needs and work towards a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

Person-Centred Therapy

Person-centred therapy is a humanistic approach that focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their feelings and experiences.

The therapist provides empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness, helping clients develop greater self-awareness and personal growth. This approach empowers individuals to find their own solutions, fostering self-acceptance and emotional healing.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-based therapy is an approach that integrates mindfulness practices, such as meditation and focused attention, into therapeutic techniques to help individuals manage stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges. It encourages clients to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations in the present moment, without judgment.

By cultivating mindfulness, individuals can develop greater emotional regulation, reduce reactivity, and improve overall well-being. This approach is often used in treatments like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than trying to change or avoid them. It focuses on helping clients live in alignment with their values, even in the face of discomfort or challenges.

Through mindfulness, cognitive diffusion, and committed action, ACT aims to improve psychological flexibility and enhance well-being.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that helps individuals manage intense emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and reduce self-destructive behaviours. It combines mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.

DBT is especially effective for individuals with borderline personality disorder but can also be used to treat a variety of emotional challenges.
